1000 years old mandir - Manora , Karachi

[El Sidd]

Manora could have been the sister city to Angkor. The architecture gives away the similarities.

I have visited this place a couple of times. Feels haunted.

No it's not. Stop scaring people

Did I say it is? I said it feels as if it is haunted.

To you everything's haunted.

It's just the effects of waves dying on the shore in futility that sound sometimes relaxes people sometimes scares them.

I wonder if the Charsi with a pack of street dogs as friends still roams the area.

Which Charsi you are talking about?

One of my relatives spent whole life cleaning the mosque adjacent to Yousuf Shah Ghazi's mazar... He was a majzoob.. I hope you are not calling him a charsi.

Which Charsi you are talking about?

There used to be a Malang who used to patrol the lakeshore street at night. He had a whole army of street dogs who he used to set free on those who he thought were just idling about.

Man could those dogs run. I suspect he was a drug dealer with a fancy disguise. He spoke in tongues which always scared everyone.

Nopes, his story is a bit strange.. an unrelated person couldn't identify him as a devotee.

His story is so strange that you will not believe.. and I don't want to make myself a joke on this forum too..

So if you are interested, I can tell you in a private msg.

Have never seen this kind of guy although I have visited Manora many many times in my life.. in 80s, 90s, and 2000s.

1000 years old mandir - Manora

I think there may have been old monument at this place but Karachi before British conquest in 1839 did not have any stone buildings. The stone Mandir may have been constructed after 1839. Even the mausoleum of Abdullah Shah Ghazi near the mandir was small building not made of stone. You can see old photo of mausoleum and the new one after expansion and construction.

Karachi

This ain't Karachi. This is an Island just off Karachi.

That is Manora in 1800s painting. Any Temple here ?

Hard to make out any buildings in the picture to decide that.

Locals however do have a fascinating tale to tell as to how long have they inhabited the island
